    Amy,
          We use Mila walls in our changing gallery and other galleries as well.  We have a gallery that changes every few months so these work perfectly for that.  We use them as temporary walls as well.  Lots of ways to configure them.  They last a long time too.  They have a layer on the outside that if it gets too worn you can replace it.  Our guys in our shop set them up and change the configuration of them.  They are a bit heavy but once installed they work well.

    Hi Amy,
    I am currently using the 100 Series it is their top of the line. They have two other grades from what can see. I would recommend getting the hanger system if you are using it for changing exhibitions so you keep damage to a minimum. The vinyl covering is expensive. I highly recommend Mila wall system and the eight foot wall is manageable with two people.

    We used Mila walls at a museum I worked at previously. It was a history museum.

    We loved them. We used them all the time in our temporary exhibit area. We did have exhibit staff who could easily "re-skin" them at times--which helped over the long run.

    They are a bit expensive and sometimes it took a while to get new ones from overseas. But they lasted well and were quite versatile for what we needed.

    Please give us a shout for a quote. Our walls cost much less, are easier to use, and are right in the US, so lead times are much shorter.
